LASER Cut Coaster   My coaster is a simple, basic cup shaped coaster. Material I used is Cherry wood and did some hatching at final stage. The handle is separately glued. My coaster is little bigger than usual and can be used for big mugs or even bowls if needed to. I'm attaching some render pictures and final laser cut images here in my blog. I couldn't go above and beyond on this coaster. I think cherry wood gives a quite nice look to the actual coaster. I made a lot of use of the poly line function and trim function here. So, yeah here are the results...

Coaster Design  Haven't finished the full coaster yet, having some difficulties with couple things and will be discussing them in class and finish it all then. Sorry! But here's a rough estimate of what I'm trying to make.

Coaster Thumbnails Here are my 12 Thumbnails for coaster design. I'm most excited for the PAW as I would dedicate that one to my fur babies. Also very excited for the COFFEE CUP one as it just seems really appealing for hot beverages. I would choose basic fabric material for most of them except the SNOWFLAKE one, I would be interested in trying out artificial glass like material to give a more realistic look which will be mostly used for cold drinks as it might not be heat resistant for hot ones. I feel like ARROW one would fail as coaster because the base area, that is the circle in between won't be stable/safe enough base for a cup.
